45 photographs

each shot this month of August, each collecting dust on my desktop... until now.

1 It’s an image that shows the concentrated succulence of moist fruit, but the color handling and the blown highlights contradict the seductiveness of it. A tragic image?

2 1909.

3 Very rich. Love the layer counterpoints, the diagonals meeting the stylized pose. Great hand gesture. The animal/human hybrid evokes divinity - this is an unknown, ad hoc mythology, however - but I’d also point out that it’s a male/female hybrid.

6 Thank you. I never tire of the landscape I live in, the sky, the clouds, the wires.

10 The diagonals of the rough background perpendicular, opposing, implacable.

11.

12 Boundary, difference, attraction, repulsion even. But to enumerate the qualities already makes them more ordinary, less evoked.

14 Very nice. “That little bit of red that makes all the difference.” And what’s on the tape? “White Freightliner”, or the soundtrack for “The Usual Suspects”... or perhaps “Music for Airports”?

15 Mumbai.

17 I love that “hazard” is spelled as in “Dukes of Hazzard” (!).

18 Instagram cliche, but with a “twist” - a very messy one! Truly, you are the goddess of goop - Love the curling toes, which give you the sensation of the water and mud.

20 The bright spots on the right foot evoke eyes for me... Seeing is also being seen, and uses the same organs.

24 Gorgeous surface look, and as usual, there’s a plot twist and a contradiction.

27 Various species of limbs. A colloquy of limbs.

30 Very nice.

31 As though you listened intently to the speech of the little man in your left ear; he, too, looks intent, even vehement.

32 Very nice, more contradictions, as though you could tie off a column of water, or the concrete becomes water by being tourniquetted by the wooden twigs.

33 Love the stylized-looking posture with vertical forearms; we can assume a camera but what we really see is a tiny head that is being shaped or created by large hands.

38 Very nice counterpoint and structure.

45 The color helps articulate the non-rectangular structure beautifully.
